I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Evil knee! That should be good for some shenanigans all right. Good luck with the flood and mold abatement.

Evil knee! Surely it can savage a few misogynists in the groin in an evil-but-righteous way.

I am sorry about all the house expenses. The first thing I learned about home ownership is that the greater part of it is mitigating water where it doesn't belong. (Our two biggest expenses were the dry rot around the windows and the damage from a spout that didn't drain properly.)

Yikes, Pix! But glad you’ve got someone fixing issues both watery and ligament, and you should totally use the evil knee excuse to kick a few people.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Happy pi day! I was out last night (trivia night with my sister & her DH), but I talked to one of the JOs this morning and she suggested doing pi day tomorrow, as we all assumed nobody would be in the office today because of the weather.

So right now I have a maple walnut pie in the oven! Yay!

Our wings are not tired.

Mmmm, pie! I hope all enjoyed theirs.

Use that knee well, Pix! When the time comes I am confident that you will find good use for it. I hope your dad has stabilized. As for water issues, big ugh! Sound like the number isn't as scary as it could have been, although not at the top of the list for stuff you would like to toss money at.

I am still in oh my god why morning so early mode.

What? No! You must be confused. It has been explained to me many many times that being chonky causes every problem and being slim means you’re healthy and your body works great all the time.

Yeah, apparently the addresses got mixed up between me and the next door neighbor at my apartment (a 15-years-younger former college athlete), because guess who just kept on trundling along fine despite more than a few extra pounds the last 8 years and who had multiple hospital stays? The medical industry would have predicted that all his health problems should have veered toward me instead, magnetically attracted by the extra pounds around my waist!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Matt, maybe we have the scientifically unexplainable Magic Chonk that reverses the magnetic poles and sends the health problems to the nearest available bystander?

Magic Chonk! By k-tel!

It chops! It slices! It dices! You can eat julienne fries!

SO MANY julienne fries!

The Magic Chonk also apparently makes Tim Tams appear out of thin air, because last night when I ordered the eponymous cake at Outback the waitress told me they were out of the cookies, but their manager somehow found some to put on top. Where other than an Australia-themed restaurant has Tim Tams in stock in NE Arkansas?!?
